   I work for a small city that outlets water into the Great Lakes system. As with every other municipality, we were required to come up with a feasibility plan and then implement it if it was economically feasible, which for us it was. Other cities are not required to take action because it is not economically feasible, many of these cities are the worst offenders and contribute the most sewage. Because our contribution to the waterway is so small, a test of the overall lakes would show nothing. But we are required to take actions and show that we are making an improvement, the only way to show this is by output data. Until an overall plan is made and everyone is forced to take actions, a measurable goal is impossible. As for the Detroit Tunnel, it will probably never be built. The City of Detroit need to show MDEQ a feasibility report routinely. They spend huge amounts of money on lawyers, engineers, and accountants to prove these plans are not economically feasible and therefore do not have to implement them. All these plans are going to be implemented in the future, when they can afford it, whens that?
